Petasites Japonicus

is this near you pond dawn,, your big pond :o))

It suits it there Dawn it,s spreading nicely , :o)

Hi Sandra & Amy - it's on the island in the middle of the pond Sandra.
You can see I have a weeping silver birch there too. The yellow irises are around the edge - seems ages ago now since they were in flower.
Its a very invasive plant but it works well as its contained on the island.

i love your pond dawn, i would love to be able to have that, but would fill my garden lol

Maybe Sandra - its about 50 metres long, lol but if you get any available time you can come down in the autumn and help me pull some bullrushes out :-))

i would love to, just to see your lovely garden, if im ever your way i let you know

You'd be welcomed Sandra :-)

:o)) thanx dawn

Ooh this is a new one to me Dawn, lovely, your pond is huge and so natural, love it.

Very natural here Simbad - kind of wild, ha ha.
This plant is very invasive but I like it. It has a rather insignificant flower in late winter.
